Revision as of 16:51, 2 March 2020
Template:Sideicon
Main article: Missions (Crisis Core)
The general "story" of the missions in this set is that Shinra has uncovered a new set of caverns near the northern cave.
Investigation is wrought with difficulty due to both Genesis and Wutai remnants attempting to loot the caverns, as well as the presence of the local monster population, which is strangely overpowered. Machines, infantrymen, and others are used to protect the civilian employees, but a mysterious force seems to turn both defeated machines and humans against their former side.
Ultimately, only Zack is remaining (with all other Shinra, Genesis, and Wutai troops either retreated or lost) and continues further into the caves. This culminates in the last mission, where the source of the mysterious force is shown to be the game's superboss.

Doors to the Unknown

An analysis of the data tells us that the monsters in these caves are exponentially stronger than they are above the ground.
Even those that are relatively docile above ground become belligerent in these caves.
We trust you, but do not let your guard down.

Life Form of Energy
Mission 9-6-5
Analysis of the mysterious energy has led us to believe that not only does it make machines behave like living organism, but any other life form killed by it could take on an entirely different behavior.
Evidence suggest that a few of our men have disappeared in the lower levels.
Don't let anything take you by surprise! Keep your courage up and move forward!

We look forward to reading your report, Zack!
